Only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.

Exodus 21:19 (The Israel Bible™)

Jerusalem Inspiration

From today's verse the Talmud expounds that if a person inflicts injury on another he must compensate for pain, suffering, and medical expenses. Thus, the Talmud teaches us our obligation to turn to doctors to help us heal. A medical doctor may cure the body, but in Israel, a medical clown can cure the soul. 'Dream Doctors' trains medical clowns to assist doctors with painful and traumatic procedures. With skill, care and humor, a medical clown can turn treatment into a smoother, more enjoyable experience, and when a soul smiles, its body can heal.

Jerusalem Daily Photo

From 1948 until 1967, not one Jew entered the old city of Jerusalem. With its liberation following the six day war, the exiled families could return and rebuild. Today, the old city is teaming with Jewish life as mothers and children roam the streets with joy, captured here by Yuval Shlomo.
